The snow squeeze on city streets is making it difficult for first responders trying to keep people safe.
Driving through some city streets can be a game of inches for drivers. In some cases, fire trucks, which are about 8 feet wide, only have a few inches spare as they try to respond to an emergency. "When you add snow to the equation with vehicles on both sides, we get squeezed in on both sides," Milwaukee Fire Department Battalion Chief Darin Peterburs said.
He said drivers have to make quick decisions about whether trucks can even make it down some streets to an emergency.
In some cases this winter, firefighters have been forced to park farther away from emergency calls because of snow-packed and crowded streets.
